talk bout wen artist is singin a melody and 2-3 background singas follow him rite after with sometimes jus "uhhhh uhhh uh" ahhh ah ahh" and shizzle like that,
example:

lets walk under the moo-ooo-ooon liiiiight <-singer
ahhhh aaaaah aah ahh aaaaahhhhhhh <- background peope following the melody

lol hard to explain, i jus know in america they used to do that like in 60s when college rock was the hit, the background singers have mostly a lil higher voice..

my case: need more tune for insparation, i wanna do some tunes in that style but nowadays but i wana make it sound like those i past (probably the only way i could sing rite now is bake up a singer like dat"
sean kingston did pick up dat style in "beautiful girl" a bit but me wanna do roots like dat, no dancehall

hi don, do you mean songs like 'on the beach' by the paragons, rocksteady style? vocal and harmonies.

hi don, result. well you gotta be checkin out the melodians, tenors, sensations etc. cant go wrong

ital kemar

cool, will do that. give thanx.

I think you should get a compilation with The Paragons. And the new Trojan compilation with The Techniques. And keep on buying from Duke Reid. Best rocksteady ever made imo. And Alton Ellis "Sings rock & soul" ofc.

Don, also check the Silvertones
